Abstract
This chapter provides a review of marine social and economic data and tools that may facilitate the incorporation of social and economic data into decision-making for sustainable coastal management. The results show that there is good information on provisioning services and a range of methods, but social information is often lacking or not at the appropriate scale. The recommendation is therefore to further develop and adapt models that incorporate social and economic information and cover the full pathway from environmental pressures to changes in ecosystem services and human wellbeing.
